Description

Travel by Greyhound (Greyhound, 1960s). Full-Bleed Travel
Poster (28" X 38.5") "Winter Bewitches," Rod Ruth Artwork.
Raised near Lake Michigan, artist Rod Ruth's childhood engrained in
him a lifelong love for the beauty found in nature and wildlife. He
began his career as an illustrator for several Chicago-based
magazines, and further honed his skills over the next several
decades in the field of advertising and children's books. Known for
drawing the comic strip The Toodles from 1941-1958 and
painting travel posters for Greyhound, he is perhaps most famous
for his work on the 1972 book Album of Dinosaurs. This
original Greyhound poster from the 1960s was an excellent vehicle
for his talents, with twinkling snowflakes fluttering around a
sylphic ice skater as she etches her way through a dreamy
winterscape. Touchup has been applied only to pinholes in the
corners. The lower corners are beginning to lift from the masa
paper. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
